#290 - Don't Like Pills

Last Pill

I've been taking Letrozol for 5 years. It's been cutting down my chances of cancer recurrence. 

Yesterday, I took my last pill. Some breast cancer patients take it for 10 years, but  my doc said 5 is good for me. This stupid pill has aged me faster. It's caused joint pain and it's aged my skin, among other things. Yesterday I swallowed that last pill and said Good riddance! I took no pill this morning and I felt like I should do a dance!

Good Memory

5 years ago today, I rang the bell after my last radiation treatment. That was a good memory. 

I don't like having cancer in my medical history. But I'm okay with having cancer in my memories. This guy made breast cancer and those chemo & radiation treatments, a whole lot more tolerable. We made some good memories.

​10 Weeks

​Yesterday marked 10 weeks, since Don's bypass. I said he should ring the old school bell. He laughed and said no. He's pretty much healed from surgery, but he hasn't been able to get an appointment with an orthopedic about his back. Okay, we'll wait.

But tonight we got the 6 foot tree up. Don guided me and I managed most on my own. Glad we didn't get a larger one.

Then I found a bell ornament. "Okay, I'm ringing this for both of us!"
